Psalms 23
The speaker expresses trust in God as their shepherd, who provides for their needs, guides them, and comforts them in times of fear and uncertainty. God leads them to peaceful and restorative places, and even in the face of death, the speaker feels secure in God's presence. God also blesses them with abundance and protection, and the speaker looks forward to dwelling in God's presence forever.
1The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.2He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,3he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.6Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
